    Edwin : High King of Britain
  

*by P***  on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2014*

This is a fantastic a beautiful historical reading, I really enjoy the reading, because I learn about this era, Edwin was great,I am going to do some research about the person you mention at the end of the book, Bede, so Bede is very important in this story, this is fascinating, Edwin King of Northumbria, I like him because he listen when people talk, to be born in that era he was a very loving father, and his 2 older sons love him and listen to him. He listen when his wife talk to him about her religion, because she was Christian.His wife was AEthelburg of Kent. One of the conditions of her marriage, was King Edwin conversion to Christianity . This is one of my favorites era for my study.I invite you to read this great book!!!!!This is a beautiful story that send you back to the Kingdoms of Britain C.625. I invite you to take this journey .Edwin was King of Northumbria. Around 604 , Edwin was in exile and at the same time he was under the protection of King Raewald. One night Edwin was walking at the beach and he saw a shadow of a person, but he can not see who it was, the shadow talk to him and told him that he was going to be King of Britain. This was like a prophesy.Edwin rises again and between battles and battles he was becoming really strong and very powerful.Come the day that he was going to married for the second time,his first wife had dies. So he was going to married to the Princess of Kent, but in order to get married to the Princess of Kent he had to respect and allowed the Princess to keep the Christian religion. So he agreed.In this era to be a king was about power and strength, so in order to keep his throne he has to be strong, in good health and be surrounded by very good and strong people.Edwin converted to Christianity and was baptized.I invite you to read this great book , and to learn about Edwin, this is one of my favorite eras!!BRAVO !!!!!  Edoardo Albert

    Edwin : High King of Britain
  

*by K***P on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2014*

As an armchair scholar and author of works on Edwin, and as a fan of the author's nonfiction work, I expected a lot from this book.  The attention to detail in description and setting is phenomenal, and often pulled me right into the book.  Many aspects of Edwin's later life have been woven into a cohesively accessible story.  That being said, I admit to finding some of the translations and vocabulary a bit choppy.  My biggest complaint is that I rarely related to the characters themselves.  While the book is full of active descriptions, the characters fell flat at times.  I would give this book 3.5 stars, had I that option.

    A Real Life Tolkien-style story!
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2014*

Once I got to the third chapter, you would have had to pry *Edwin: High King of Britain* out of my hands. The reason? It reminded me of The Lord of the Rings. I read this paragraph...."The wind blew harder and Edwin shivered, but it was not from a cold to which he was inured that he shook. 'He made me bow to him. He forced me to my knees in front of his men, in front of mine, and made me do homage.' Edwin turned to Forthred, and his eyes were as grey and cold as the sea.'He bought me my kingdom and defeated my enemy, but he ground my knees into the blood soaked mud and forced the homage I would have willingly given. But he is dead now, and no other man will make me kneel.''But I will kneel to you lord,' said Forthred, and he went down on one knee before Edwin. 'Get up, get up.' Edwin hauled Forthred back to his feet. 'We have endured too much together for you to kneel to me, old friend.' "And I said to my friend "This is a real-life Middle Earth kind of story."I like learning history through novels, and I love the fact that this book is a true-to-history account. However, I was sucked in by the story and the characters, and the factual basis was all an extra benefit. This books reads like Tolkien, and a bit like a Stephen Lawhead novel, with kings and queens and battles and warcraft.One thing really struck home to me: Nothing is new under the sun. People still do horribly violent things to one another. Weapons are still formed to take life and spill blood. Power and empires are still sought. And the Gospel still goes out- a very tiny seed that grows greatly in good soil, an insane idea that saves souls, a beautiful word amidst the evil and coarseness.Edwin, a man who walked this earth and saw the sun and impacted history, had to choose how to live and whom to serve. This novel imagines how he made those choices. His bride, Æthelburh, another true figure, came to Edwin's house with Christianity and two spiritual counselors, a priest Paulinus, and a deacon James. These men are humble and devout without becoming cliches, just as Edwin is hard-headed and determined.Christianity at its most unadulterated, life-giving form is about to enter this pagan land. That's what makes this book so cool... it wrestles with the introduction of Christ into history, and shows how men's hearts changed when they encountered the Gospel, but it is not your typical poorly-written tract style novel. Readers can enter it without fear of anything but accuracy meeting imagination.Thank you Lion Fiction for my review copy!
